Leach Leaves Cougars For Bulldogs

UNDATED (AP) – Mississippi State has hired Washington State’s Mike Leach as its new head football coach, replacing Joe Moorhead.  Leach took over a program that had been mired in the Pac-12 basement and went to five straight bowl games, including a school-record 11 victories in 2018. He finished 55-47 in eight seasons with the Cougars and is 139-90 as a college coach for both Washington State and Texas Tech.  Moorhead was fired last week after going 14-12 in two years with the Bulldogs, including a 6-7 mark this season.
